Hung out on 27.205 while working on radios. Skip was coming in and out all day long. Started with Illinois, NY, in the morning (7am) and Maryland down thru the Carolinas around noon ending up with the Sand Pile around 4pm.
QSO's with a couple of stations in East Texas, Michigan, New York, Ontario Canada on SSB.
I started scanning around some on AM. Stopped on Channel 20 when I heard a familiar voice and number come through my speaker from a WWDX forum member and friend "...357 Magnum Leo in Rhode Island..."
Yep, there he was! We had a good QSO on AM. Better than any we've had on SSB. Leo's Cobra 2000 was clearing the airways coming into North Carolina with strong signal and loud clear audio.
Just had a QSO with Poland on 10 meters on the Imax 2000, 1000 km's away, 5/9 both ways running 100 watts from the Yaesu FT 991A.
The sporadic E season is about ending in middle august, back to tumble weed on the higher bands.
There is always 160 and 80.
